Elves Live In The Land      
     Beyond The  Great  Dam.      
  It Was Built In The  Late  Sixties.   
    The  Elves Came  To Us Then.    
                      
                      
 They  Were  Very  Manipulative,  And  We 
 Came  To  Trust Them.         Us 
 Kids Would Play Down  At The  Water Even 
 Though We Were Not Allowed.        
    Sometimes  The  Sluice  Would Close 
 Entirely, And  The  River  At  The  Dams 
 Foot  Would Dry  Up, Revealing The Rocky 
 Water  Garden  That  Had   Been   Hidden 
 Beneath, And We  Would Go There.     
        Before The Dam Opened  Again, 
 There  Would Be A Signal, But  The Elves 
 Would  Make Us Not Hear It, And Suddenly 
 We Would  Find The Water Rising, Already 
 At Our  Knees.               
                      
  By Then  The  Elves Would  Be  Gone.
